Resumo

Esta pesquisa procura responder, por meio de um questionamento biblio e hemerográfico, à pergunta por como oferecer uma definição sintética e elemental de fotografia vernácula que inclua os elementos comuns apresentados em conceitos originados por autores especializados, galerias e museus interessados por esse gênero iconográfico. Para isso, foram analisadas 25 definições de fotografia vernácula e foram escolhidas 13, as quais correspondem aos últimos dez anos, dadas por acadêmicos de reconhecido prestígio, interessados nesse gênero, como Geoffrey Batchen e Clément Chéroux, ou instituições com acervos de fotografia vernácula, como o Museu de Arte Moderna de Nova York ou as Swann Galleries. O estudo das definições vem permitindo encontrar elementos convergentes e divergentes para poder propor um conceito definitivo e integrador. Nas conclusões, são evidenciados os desafios que encontrar uma definição sintética e elemental para a fotografia vernácula implica.
